Rachawadee Thai Spa is one of my happy places!
The Thai masseuses are talented and skilled, finding the spots that need massaging with a mere touch of their fingers. Massages are thorough and effective and oh-so-enjoyable, if sometimes a little painful when they hit those tender spots!
The spa is tranquil, set in the most beautiful gardens, with safe parking.
Tea on arrival and on departure, beautiful decor, and serenity throughout.

One of the best massages in years. Met with tea and a foot wash, I chose the 120 min massage. I wish it could have been 240 min as it was absolute bliss. When I finished I just wanted to curl up and sleep I was so relaxed.
Pricing is fair and the venue is lovely. Beyond the piped music you can hear the sound of happy children from the near by pre school.

The best spa ever, I come every Sunday and it shows no body aches and pains and I very seldom get sick. I have been going to Rachawade for the past 3 years and have traveled Thailand and we are lucky to have the best Thai Spa in our area. LOVE IT. The therapists are also great and caring.

I've been multiple times and had a number of the offered treatments and I must say, the massage itself is always great. An area I think they could improve in is customer service, especially over the phone. On any given day they, for whatever reason, are despondent and short. I feel like I am asking them for a favour when making a booking, when I am in fact the customer in the scenario. Every single time. Not a great first impression at all for anyone making their first booking.

I have always been VERY AGAINST Thai massages. I never liked being prodded and moved and pushed. I always thought a spa was meant to relax and comfort you. That was until I developed some serious ailments in my shoulders, neck and legs.
After a 35 hour travel (flights and layovers) I decided a Thai massage would/could make me feel better. HELLO RACHAWADEE THAI SPA. My massage therapist was Nicole. I explained my "hot spots" and she began. An hour and a half later, I offered marriage to her. She felt every knot, maneuvered every tight muscle and ligament and at one point thought about just dumping my chiropractor and physical therapist.
Nicole is amazing. The spa is relaxing and if you wanted to make it a fun girls night out....they'll make it work.
Thanks Nicole. You were amazing!!!!!

The venue is easily accessible and beautiful with Thailand interior and environment .It makes you feel you in Thailand. The staff are friendly and very professional and you are treated as you walk in. The massages were always very good and affordable, since I started there about 4 years ago, I am visiting the spa on a monthly basis, because the message does wonders for my health

A great Thai spa - highly recommend it. The surroundings are tranquil, the massage was great and the pressure really eased my tension. I felt absolutely relaxed and stress-free afterwards. Also can't speak highly enougn of the staff - very welcoming and hospitable. Be sure to pay them a visit - you won't regret it.

Went in with a very sore back and neck pains and came out feeling rejuvenated. It was amazing, first you get your feet washed and massaged over a small cup of tea. Then the massage begins. It was professional, the ladies were very nice and directed on what to do throughout the entire session. I would recommend this place to everyone for a unique and 'healthful' experience! I will be going back very soon.

Rachawadee Thai Spa is a Thai oasis in the heart of Johannesburg. The massage was wonderful, there are couples rooms available and the therapists are very polite and well trained. You immediately relax when entering -- it's like a traditional Thai home -- and it's a special pampering treat.

This spa didn't contact us to enquire about our complaint. We paid the full price for the treatment and expect to receive what we paid for. Rather they presented false dematory statements as fact. We have our own respective professions and don't own a spa, neither do we intend on opening one. I feel that people reading this need to know the facts.

Is there a specific masseuse you would recommend? And is the food good?
Written 21 July 2016
Dear Sir/Madam
All of our masseuses are well qualified , you may choose any one of them .
Our clients are always enjoyed our food of which we are proud. It is however an individual's state. We invite you to pay us a visit when you have the time .
